Philippians 1

GNT

1 παῦλος καὶ τιμόθεος δοῦλοι χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ τοῖς οὗσιν ἐν φιλίπποις σὺν ἐπισκόποις καὶ διακόνοις·

2 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

3 εὐχαριστῶ τῶ θεῶ μου ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ μνείᾳ ὑμῶν,

4 πάντοτε ἐν πάσῃ δεήσει μου ὑπὲρ πάντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς τὴν δέησιν ποιούμενος,

5 ἐπὶ τῇ κοινωνίᾳ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀπὸ τῆς πρώτης ἡμέρας ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν,

6 πεποιθὼς αὐτὸ τοῦτο, ὅτι ὁ ἐναρξάμενος ἐν ὑμῖν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἐπιτελέσει ἄχρι ἡμέρας χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ·

7 καθώς ἐστιν δίκαιον ἐμοὶ τοῦτο φρονεῖν ὑπὲρ πάντων ὑμῶν, διὰ τὸ ἔχειν με ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμᾶς, ἔν τε τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀπολογίᾳ καὶ βεβαιώσει τοῦ εὐαγγελίου συγκοινωνούς μου τῆς χάριτος πάντας ὑμᾶς ὄντας.

8 μάρτυς γάρ μου ὁ θεός, ὡς ἐπιποθῶ πάντας ὑμᾶς ἐν σπλάγχνοις χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ.

9 καὶ τοῦτο προσεύχομαι, ἵνα ἡ ἀγάπη ὑμῶν ἔτι μᾶλλον καὶ μᾶλλον περισσεύῃ ἐν ἐπιγνώσει καὶ πάσῃ αἰσθήσει,

10 εἰς τὸ δοκιμάζειν ὑμᾶς τὰ διαφέροντα, ἵνα ἦτε εἰλικρινεῖς καὶ ἀπρόσκοποι εἰς ἡμέραν χριστοῦ,

11 πεπληρωμένοι καρπὸν δικαιοσύνης τὸν διὰ ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ εἰς δόξαν καὶ ἔπαινον θεοῦ.

12 γινώσκειν δὲ ὑμᾶς βούλομαι, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι τὰ κατ᾽ ἐμὲ μᾶλλον εἰς προκοπὴν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ἐλήλυθεν,

13 ὥστε τοὺς δεσμούς μου φανεροὺς ἐν χριστῶ γενέσθαι ἐν ὅλῳ τῶ πραιτωρίῳ καὶ τοῖς λοιποῖς πάσιν,

14 καὶ τοὺς πλείονας τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἐν κυρίῳ πεποιθότας τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου περισσοτέρως τολμᾶν ἀφόβως τὸν λόγον λαλεῖν.

15 τινὲς μὲν καὶ διὰ φθόνον καὶ ἔριν, τινὲς δὲ καὶ δι᾽ εὐδοκίαν τὸν χριστὸν κηρύσσουσιν·

16 οἱ μὲν ἐξ ἀγάπης, εἰδότες ὅτι εἰς ἀπολογίαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου κεῖμαι,

17 οἱ δὲ ἐξ ἐριθείας τὸν χριστὸν καταγγέλλουσιν, οὐχ ἁγνῶς, οἰόμενοι θλῖψιν ἐγείρειν τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου.

18 τί γάρ; πλὴν ὅτι παντὶ τρόπῳ, εἴτε προφάσει εἴτε ἀληθείᾳ, χριστὸς καταγγέλλεται, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ χαίρω· ἀλλὰ καὶ χαρήσομαι,

19 οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν δεήσεως καὶ ἐπιχορηγίας τοῦ πνεύματος ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ,

20 κατὰ τὴν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα μου ὅτι ἐν οὐδενὶ αἰσχυνθήσομαι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ ὡς πάντοτε καὶ νῦν μεγαλυνθήσεται χριστὸς ἐν τῶ σώματί μου, εἴτε διὰ ζωῆς εἴτε διὰ θανάτου.

21 ἐμοὶ γὰρ τὸ ζῆν χριστὸς καὶ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν κέρδος.

22 εἰ δὲ τὸ ζῆν ἐν σαρκί, τοῦτό μοι καρπὸς ἔργου· καὶ τί αἱρήσομαι οὐ γνωρίζω.

23 συνέχομαι δὲ ἐκ τῶν δύο, τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν ἔχων εἰς τὸ ἀναλῦσαι καὶ σὺν χριστῶ εἶναι, πολλῶ [γὰρ] μᾶλλον κρεῖσσον·

24 τὸ δὲ ἐπιμένειν [ἐν] τῇ σαρκὶ ἀναγκαιότερον δι᾽ ὑμᾶς.

25 καὶ τοῦτο πεποιθὼς οἶδα ὅτι μενῶ καὶ παραμενῶ πᾶσιν ὑμῖν εἰς τὴν ὑμῶν προκοπὴν καὶ χαρὰν τῆς πίστεως,

26 ἵνα τὸ καύχημα ὑμῶν περισσεύῃ ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ διὰ τῆς ἐμῆς παρουσίας πάλιν πρὸς ὑμᾶς.

27 μόνον ἀξίως τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τοῦ χριστοῦ πολιτεύεσθε, ἵνα εἴτε ἐλθὼν καὶ ἰδὼν ὑμᾶς εἴτε ἀπὼν ἀκούω τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν, ὅτι στήκετε ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι, μιᾷ ψυχῇ συναθλοῦντες τῇ πίστει τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,

28 καὶ μὴ πτυρόμενοι ἐν μηδενὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀντικειμένων, ἥτις ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς ἔνδειξις ἀπωλείας, ὑμῶν δὲ σωτηρίας, καὶ τοῦτο ἀπὸ θεοῦ·

29 ὅτι ὑμῖν ἐχαρίσθη τὸ ὑπὲρ χριστοῦ, οὐ μόνον τὸ εἰς αὐτὸν πιστεύειν ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ πάσχειν,

30 τὸν αὐτὸν ἀγῶνα ἔχοντες οἷον εἴδετε ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ νῦν ἀκούετε ἐν ἐμοί.

1  Paul³⁹⁷² and²⁵³² Timothy,⁵⁰⁹⁵ the servants¹⁴⁰¹ of Jesus⁵⁵⁴⁷ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ to all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ saints⁴⁰ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ which are⁵⁶⁰⁷ at¹⁷²² Philippi,⁵³⁷⁵ with⁴⁸⁶² the bishops¹⁹⁸⁵ and²⁵³² deacons:¹²⁴⁹

2  Grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ be unto you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² peace,¹⁵¹⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ God²³¹⁶ our²²⁵⁷ Father,³⁹⁶² and²⁵³² from the Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

3  I thank²¹⁶⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ God²³¹⁶ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ every³⁹⁵⁶ remembrance³⁴¹⁷ of you,⁵²¹⁶

4  Always³⁸⁴² in¹⁷²² every³⁹⁵⁶ prayer¹¹⁶² of mine³⁴⁵⁰ for⁵²²⁸ you⁵²¹⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ making⁴¹⁶⁰ request¹¹⁶² with³³²⁶ joy,⁵⁴⁷⁹

5  For¹⁹⁰⁹ your⁵²¹⁶ fellowship²⁸⁴² in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ the first⁴⁴¹³ day²²⁵⁰ until⁸⁹¹ now;³⁵⁶⁸

6  Being confident³⁹⁸² of this very thing,^{5124 848} that³⁷⁵⁴ he which hath begun¹⁷²⁸ a good¹⁸ work²⁰⁴¹ in¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ will perform²⁰⁰⁵ it until⁸⁹¹ the day²²⁵⁰ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷

7  Even as²⁵³¹ it is²⁰⁷⁶ meet¹³⁴² for me¹⁶⁹⁸ to think⁵⁴²⁶ this⁵¹²⁴ of⁵²²⁸ you⁵²¹⁶ all,³⁹⁵⁶ because I³¹⁶⁵ have²¹⁹² you⁵²⁰⁹ in¹⁷²² my heart;²⁵⁸⁸ inasmuch as both⁵⁰³⁷ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ bonds,¹¹⁹⁹ and²⁵³² in the³⁵⁸⁸ defense⁶²⁷ and²⁵³² confirmation⁹⁵¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel,²⁰⁹⁸ ye⁵²⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ are⁵⁶⁰⁷ partakers⁴⁷⁹¹ of my³⁴⁵⁰ grace.⁵⁴⁸⁵

8  For¹⁰⁶³ God²³¹⁶ is²⁰⁷⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ record,³¹⁴⁴ how⁵⁶¹³ greatly I long after¹⁹⁷¹ you⁵²⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the bowels⁴⁶⁹⁸ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

9  And²⁵³² this⁵¹²⁴ I pray,⁴³³⁶ that²⁴⁴³ your⁵²¹⁶ love²⁶ may abound⁴⁰⁵² yet²⁰⁸⁹ more³¹²³ and²⁵³² more³¹²³ in¹⁷²² knowledge¹⁹²² and²⁵³² in all³⁹⁵⁶ judgment;¹⁴⁴

10  That ye⁵²⁰⁹ may approve¹³⁸¹ things that are excellent;¹³⁰⁸ that²⁴⁴³ ye may be⁵⁶⁰⁰ sincere¹⁵⁰⁶ and²⁵³² without offense⁶⁷⁷ till¹⁵¹⁹ the day²²⁵⁰ of Christ;⁵⁵⁴⁷

11  Being filled⁴¹³⁷ with the fruits²⁵⁹⁰ of righteousness,¹³⁴³ which³⁵⁸⁸ are by¹²²³ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the glory¹³⁹¹ and²⁵³² praise¹⁸⁶⁸ of God.²³¹⁶

12  But¹¹⁶¹ I would¹⁰¹⁴ ye⁵²⁰⁹ should understand,¹⁰⁹⁷ brethren,⁸⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ the things³⁵⁸⁸ which happened unto²⁵⁹⁶ me¹⁶⁹¹ have fallen out²⁰⁶⁴ rather³¹²³ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the furtherance⁴²⁹⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel;²⁰⁹⁸

13  So that⁵⁶²⁰ my³⁴⁵⁰ bonds¹¹⁹⁹ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ are¹⁰⁹⁶ manifest⁵³¹⁸ in¹⁷²² all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ palace,⁴²³² and²⁵³² in all³⁹⁵⁶ other³⁰⁶² places;

14  And²⁵³² many⁴¹¹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² the Lord,²⁹⁶² waxing confident³⁹⁸² by my³⁴⁵⁰ bonds,¹¹⁹⁹ are much more bold^{5111 4056} to speak²⁹⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ without fear.⁸⁷⁰

15  Some⁵¹⁰⁰ indeed³³⁰³ preach²⁷⁸⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ even²⁵³² of¹²²³ envy⁵³⁵⁵ and²⁵³² strife;²⁰⁵⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ also²⁵³² of¹²²³ good will:²¹⁰⁷

16  The one^{3588 3303} preach²⁶⁰⁵ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ of¹⁵³⁷ contention,²⁰⁵² not³⁷⁵⁶ sincerely,⁵⁵ supposing³⁶³³ to add²⁰¹⁸ affliction²³⁴⁷ to my³⁴⁵⁰ bonds:¹¹⁹⁹

17  But¹¹⁶¹ the other³⁵⁸⁸ of¹⁵³⁷ love,²⁶ knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ I am set²⁷⁴⁹ for¹⁵¹⁹ the defense⁶²⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel.²⁰⁹⁸

18  What⁵¹⁰¹ then?¹⁰⁶³ notwithstanding,⁴¹³³ every³⁹⁵⁶ way,⁵¹⁵⁸ whether¹⁵³⁵ in pretense,⁴³⁹² or¹⁵³⁵ in truth,²²⁵ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ is preached;²⁶⁰⁵ and²⁵³² I therein^{1722 5129} do rejoice,⁵⁴⁶³ yea,²³⁵ and²⁵³² will rejoice.⁵⁴⁶³

19  For¹⁰⁶³ I know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ this⁵¹²⁴ shall turn⁵⁷⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ my³⁴²⁷ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ through¹²²³ your⁵²¹⁶ prayer,¹¹⁶² and²⁵³² the supply²⁰²⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷

20  According²⁵⁹⁶ to my³⁴⁵⁰ earnest expectation⁶⁰³ and²⁵³² my hope,¹⁶⁸⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² nothing³⁷⁶² I shall be ashamed,¹⁵³ but²³⁵ that with¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ boldness,³⁹⁵⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ always,³⁸⁴² so now³⁵⁶⁸ also²⁵³² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ shall be magnified³¹⁷⁰ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ body,⁴⁹⁸³ whether¹⁵³⁵ it be by¹²²³ life,²²²² or¹⁵³⁵ by¹²²³ death.²²⁸⁸

21  For¹⁰⁶³ to me¹⁶⁹⁸ to live²¹⁹⁸ is Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² to die⁵⁹⁹ is gain.²⁷⁷¹

22  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ I live²¹⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ this⁵¹²⁴ is the fruit²⁵⁹⁰ of my³⁴²⁷ labor:²⁰⁴¹ yet²⁵³² what⁵¹⁰¹ I shall choose¹³⁸ I wot¹¹⁰⁷ not.³⁷⁵⁶

23  For¹⁰⁶³ I am in a strait⁴⁹¹² between¹⁵³⁷ two,¹⁴¹⁷ having²¹⁹² a desire¹⁹³⁹ to depart,³⁶⁰ and²⁵³² to be¹⁵¹¹ with⁴⁸⁶² Christ;⁵⁵⁴⁷ which is far^{4183 3123} better:²⁹⁰⁹

24  Nevertheless¹¹⁶¹ to abide¹⁹⁶¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ is more needful³¹⁶ for¹²²³ you.⁵²⁰⁹

25  And²⁵³² having this confidence,^{3982 5124} I know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ I shall abide³³⁰⁶ and²⁵³² continue with⁴⁸³⁹ you⁵²¹³ all³⁹⁵⁶ for¹⁵¹⁹ your⁵²¹⁶ furtherance⁴²⁹⁷ and²⁵³² joy⁵⁴⁷⁹ of faith;⁴¹⁰²

26  That²⁴⁴³ your⁵²¹⁶ rejoicing²⁷⁴⁵ may be more abundant⁴⁰⁵² in¹⁷²² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ for¹⁷²² me¹⁶⁹⁸ by¹²²³ my¹⁶⁹⁹ coming³⁹⁵² to⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ again.³⁸²⁵

27  Only³⁴⁴⁰ let your conversation be⁴¹⁷⁶ as it becometh⁵¹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ of Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷ that²⁴⁴³ whether¹⁵³⁵ I come²⁰⁶⁴ and²⁵³² see¹⁴⁹² you,⁵²⁰⁹ or else¹⁵³⁵ be absent,⁵⁴⁸ I may hear¹⁹¹ of your affairs,^{5216 4012} that³⁷⁵⁴ ye stand fast⁴⁷³⁹ in¹⁷²² one¹⁵²⁰ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ with one³³⁹¹ mind⁵⁵⁹⁰ striving together⁴⁸⁶⁶ for the³⁵⁸⁸ faith⁴¹⁰² of the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel;²⁰⁹⁸

28  And²⁵³² in¹⁷²² nothing³³⁶⁷ terrified^{4426 3361} by⁵²⁵⁹ your adversaries:⁴⁸⁰ which³⁷⁴⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ to them⁸⁴⁶ an³³⁰³ evident token¹⁷³² of perdition,⁶⁸⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ to you⁵²¹³ of salvation,⁴⁹⁹¹ and²⁵³² that⁵¹²⁴ of⁵⁷⁵ God.²³¹⁶

29  For³⁷⁵⁴ unto you⁵²¹³ it is given⁵⁴⁸³ in the behalf⁵²²⁸ of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ only³⁴⁴⁰ to believe⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁵¹⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ but²³⁵ also²⁵³² to suffer³⁹⁵⁸ for his sake;^{5228 846}

30  Having²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ conflict⁷³ which³⁶³⁴ ye saw¹⁴⁹² in¹⁷²² me,¹⁶⁹⁸ and²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ hear¹⁹¹ to be in¹⁷²² me.¹⁶⁹⁸

Vul

1 Paulus et Timotheus, servi Jesu Christi, omnibus sanctis in Christo Jesu, qui sunt Philippis, cum episcopis et diaconibus.

2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

3 Gratias ago Deo meo in omni memoria vestri,

4 semper in cunctis orationibus meis pro omnibus vobis, cum gaudio deprecationem faciens,

5 super communicatione vestra in Evangelio Christi a prima die usque nunc.

6 Confidens hoc ipsum, quia qui cœpit in vobis opus bonum, perficiet usque in diem Christi Jesu:

7 sicut est mihi justum hoc sentire pro omnibus vobis: eo quod habeam vos in corde, et in vinculis meis, et in defensione, et confirmatione Evangelii, socios gaudii mei omnes vos esse.

8 Testis enim mihi est Deus, quomodo cupiam omnes vos in visceribus Jesu Christi.

9 Et hoc oro, ut caritas vestra magis ac magis abundet in scientia, et in omni sensu:

10 ut probetis potiora, ut sitis sinceri, et sine offensa in diem Christi,

11 repleti fructu justitiæ per Jesum Christum, in gloriam et laudem Dei.

12 Scire autem vos volo fratres, quia quæ circa me sunt, magis ad profectum venerunt Evangelii:

13 ita ut vincula mea manifesta fierent in Christo in omni prætorio, et in ceteris omnibus,

14 et plures e fratribus in Domino confidentes vinculis meis, abundantius auderent sine timore verbum Dei loqui.

15 Quidam quidem et propter invidiam et contentionem: quidam autem et propter bonam voluntatem Christum prædicant:

16 quidam ex caritate, scientes quoniam in defensionem Evangelii positus sum.

17 Quidam autem ex contentione Christum annuntiant non sincere, existimantes pressuram se suscitare vinculis meis.

18 Quid enim? Dum omni modo sive per occasionem, sive per veritatem, Christus annuntietur: et in hoc gaudeo, sed et gaudebo.

19 Scio enim quia hoc mihi proveniet ad salutem, per vestram orationem, et subministrationem Spiritus Jesu Christi,

20 secundum exspectationem et spem meam, quia in nullo confundar: sed in omni fiducia sicut semper, et nunc magnificabitur Christus in corpore meo, sive per vitam, sive per mortem.

21 Mihi enim vivere Christus est, et mori lucrum.

22 Quod si vivere in carne, hic mihi fructus operis est, et quid eligam ignoro.

23 Coarctor autem e duobus: desiderium habens dissolvi, et esse cum Christo, multo magis melius:

24 permanere autem in carne, necessarium propter vos.

25 Et hoc confidens scio quia manebo, et permanebo omnibus vobis ad profectum vestrum, et gaudium fidei:

26 ut gratulatio vestra abundet in Christo Jesu in me, per meum adventum iterum ad vos.

27 Tantum digne Evangelio Christi conversamini: ut sive cum venero, et videro vos, sive absens audiam de vobis, quia statis in uno spiritu unanimes, collaborantes fidei Evangelii:

28 et in nullo terreamini ab adversariis: quæ illis est causa perditionis, vobis autem salutis, et hoc a Deo:

29 quia vobis donatum est pro Christo, non solum ut in eum credatis, sed ut etiam pro illo patiamini:

30 idem certamen habentes, quale et vidistis in me, et nunc audistis de me.
